The midpoint of the line segment between P1(x,y) and P2(-2,4) is Pm(1,1/4). Find the coordinates of P1. Show your graph.
Added by Joshua A.
Step 1
Given: Coordinates of P2: (-2, 4) Coordinates of midpoint Pm: (1, 1/4) Using the formula: X1 = (X2 + Xm) / 2 Y1 = (Y2 + Ym) / 2 Substitute the given values: X1 = (-2 + 1) / 2 = -1/2 Y1 = (4 + 1/4) / 2 = 17/8 ** Show more…
